* RuleOfThree: The sculptures in the "New Sacristy" are grouped into three groups. Two for the tombs of the Medici brothers, with each brother being flanked by two {{Anthropomorphic Personification}}s, and one solely composed of Christian saints --the Virgin Mary surrounded by the Medicis' two patron saints. However, this latter group comes with a twist because the Virgin Mary is holding an infant Jesus, which means that said group is made of four characters instead of three.

The former is bursting with energy and is an ideal of health, what with his bulging muscles and determination --it represents the peak of human life. By contrast, the latter suffers from a terminal illness, cancer possibly, and unpleasant dreams if her frown is anything to go by --she is the ugly end that awaits everyone.
